Psyllium

Botanical: Plantago ovata Forsk

Psyllium, also known as Isabgol or Isphagula, is primarily grown in India. It was popularised by Arabians and Persians in India as early as the 10th century A.D., known then as Fleawort or Flea Seed Husk.

Its use as a mild bulk laxative spread to the United States and Europe in the mid-19th century, gaining significant popularity. Despite the development of many newer synthetic compounds, Psyllium has maintained an important place in therapeutics.

In indigenous medicine, such as Ayurvedic and Unani, Psyllium seeds and husk are used as emollients, demulcents, and laxatives for treating chronic constipation, amoebic and bacillary dysentery, and diarrhoea.

Psyllium's efficacy comes from its high mucilage content, which acts mechanically by swelling into a jelly-like mass with liquids.

Recent research in the United States and elsewhere has shown that psyllium husks, used as a dietary supplement, can help lower human serum cholesterol levels.

The primary cultivation centers for Psyllium seed, commonly known as Isabgol, are the states Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh.

Applications of Psyllium

Unparalleled Expertise in Psyllium Processing

Isabgol seeds (Plantago ovata forsk) are prized for their mucilaginous husk, a thin white membrane covering the seed.

The husk is separated mechanically, without the use of chemicals. After thorough cleaning, including pre-cleaning, cleaning, and optical color sorting, the seeds undergo de-husking. This involves eight passes of crushing with emery mills and husk separation through a fully automatic, closed-circuit pneumatic aspiration system. The husk is further purified using gravity separators before custom packaging. Psyllium powder is then processed to meet customer-specific grade and particle size requirements using the latest ultrafine machines.
